I don't get how people expect Neymar's arrival to solve our problems. What would he have done against Bayern aside from get dispossessed with ease and not track back. I don't want the team to buy someone who can score hat tricks against the Mallorca's or Osasuna's of the world but get neutralized against top class teams. Does anyone honestly think that Neymar could pull off any of those stepovers or elastico's against a guy like Lahm? People want him not because he's an actual help, but because they've mentally built him up to be viewed as "the savior" who's arrival will "pull Barca back up into a next golden generation" without any second thought on whether or not he'll actually be decent.
I believe his diving could have made a difference maybe. But the team overall had bad morale and played like shit
Count how many times Pedro and Alexis received the ball in the final third, then in how many of those they were facing the goal, and then in how many of those there weren't at least three players surrounding them...
With the way our team played today, we could have a front line of Maradona - Messi (100% fit) - Pelé and still we would have finished with 0 shots on goal...
As good as Neymar may be (which I think he isn't), not even the best of players can fix the tactical and psychological failures of our current team...
Oh, and fixed your quote just for the LOLz...

Exactly, that's why a good dribbler on the wings (like Neymar) is needed. We only had a single shot on goal yesterday, which is humiliating for a team like Barca.funny how our defense gets destroyed every few weeks but instead we argue what striker we should get. we didn't even have a chance for a striker to finish yesterday.
